Does Aetna Medicare cover dental?

Aetna Medicare Advantage plans offer coverage for dental care.

Medicare Part A will pay for certain dental services when you’re in the hospital. It doesn’t cover routine dental care. Aetna Medicare Advantage plans offer the same coverage as Original Medicare, and plans offer additional benefits that cover dental services like cleanings and fillings.

What dental services are covered by an Aetna^® Medicare plan?

If you enroll in an Aetna Medicare Advantage plan that includes dental coverage, some of the services that are covered can include:

• Teeth cleaning, scaling and polishing
• Office visits for oral examinations
• Non-surgical extractions
• Fillings
• Minor denture adjustments
• X-rays
• Oral hygiene instruction
• Dietary advice and counseling
• Minor bite adjustments

Plan details vary and some plans provide broader dental coverage than others. Check your plan’s Evidence of Coverage (EOC) to see exactly what dental coverage benefits are offered by your plan.

If your Aetna Medicare Advantage plan offers dental benefits, the costs for your covered dental services can be included in the plan’s premium or as an Optional Supplemental Benefit, which means you would need to pay an additional premium.

An Aetna Medicare Advantage plan that covers dental care can offer the benefits through an allowance or via a network of approved dental care providers.

If your Aetna Medicare plan offers dental benefits through a network of providers, you’re required to see an approved in-network provider for covered services.
